Solution

The correct option is B Statement-I is True, Statement-II is True ; Statement-II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-I
Fehling's solution can be used to distinguish benzaldehyde from acetaldehyde as benzaldehyde (aromatic aldehyde) does not reduces Fehling's solution, but acetaldehyde (aliphatic aldehyde) reduces Fehling's solution.

Both benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde reduce Tollen's reagent, hence Tollen's reagent cannot be used to distinguish between the two.

Hence, Statement-I is True, Statement-II is True; Statement-II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-I.
